More Jewelry!




Well, I've sold a few pieces offline (and a couple online) lately-so I decided it was time to add to my shop today...playing with a new background too..instead of covering up the weathered wood on my porch window sills, trying using it uncovered...lol! Still not sure whether I like it or not.

Daughter's dragon pendant


Well my daughter saw me make a dragon so she finally decided to play with the clay again, and here is the result-she had to show me up by making a much more delicate dragon-lol! :)


This adorable red dragon focal pendant was made by my even more adorable 21 year old daughter-isn't she talented? We both love playing in the clay. The dragon measures 2.75 inches across and 3 inches from the top of the wings to bottom of pendant. The stringing hole is located between his wings. The pendant was made from red polymer clay with copper highlights added in and tiger's eye beads, goldstone and carnelian accents.

Heat treating copper


After reading various posts on the about.com jewelry making forum and on etsy, I decided to experiment with heat treating copper to age it. Here is the results, I'm rather pleased with the way it came out! Thanks for all the informative posts y'all.
